Narrative:
THE PLT LOST CONTROL OF THE ACFT DURING AN ATTEMPTED GO-AROUND. WHILE ON FINAL APCH, FULL FLAPS WERE LOWERED AND POWER WAS ADDED TO MAINTAIN 80 KTS. THE ACFT CONTINUED DESCENDING, THE AIRSPEED DECREASED TO 65-70 KTS AND THE STALL WARNING ACTIVATED. THE PLT THEN APPLIED PWR TO GO-AROUND, HOWEVER, HE APPLIED TOO MUCH BACK PRESSURE ON THE YOKE AND THE ACFT CONTINUED TO MUSH. THE ACFT TRAVELED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RWY, DOWN AN EMBANKMENT AND INTO A WOODED AREA. THE PLT LATER REFLECTED HE HAD NOT RECENTLY PRACTICED GO-AROUNDS AND BELIEVES THE FLAPS WERE INADVERTENTLY RAISED WHEN PWR WAS ADDED.
